年月日: 2006年11月27日 発表者: Dr. Rafael Benites      (Institute of Geological and Nuclear Sciences, New Zealand)  題目: A ground motion transfer function matrix for two nearby rock and soil sites  概説: I attempt to compute local site effects based on a matrix transfer function that incorporates the coupling among the three components of motion of a soil and a rock (reference) sites. The matrix is obtained from a generalized inverse formulation, considering the records of many earthquakes incident from a wide range of azimuths and depths, at both sites. The formulation also incorporates the covariance among the three components for all the earthquakes. The method is applied to calculate the amplification factors of the strong ground motion network sites in the Wellington Region, New Zealand, showing the main features produced by the standard spectral ratios, the cross coupling effects, and the directions of maximum amplitude. 年月日: 2006年11月27日 発表者: Dr. Luis Angel Dalguer      (San Diego State University)  題目: Accuracy of Dynamic Rupture Models and their Potential Application to Study Different Aspects of Earthquakes Phenomena  概説: Contrary to kinematic models, dynamic rupture models investigate the physical processes involved in the fault rupture, incorporating conservation laws of continuum mechanics, constitutive behavior of rocks under interface sliding, and state of stress in the crust. These earthquake physic models have the potential to contribute to our understanding of the physical causes of the rupture process, and therefore to improve our capability for predicting source-dominated ground motion phenomena. But appropriate numerical model is important to avoid misleading conclusions, due to numerical bias, that may have significant implications when evaluating earthquake problems. Here we assess the accuracy of different fault representation methods and demonstrate that appropriate fault representation in a numerical scheme is crucial to reduce uncertainties in numerical simulations of earthquake source dynamics and ground motion, and therefore important to improving our understanding of earthquake physics in general. In addition to other potential applications of dynamic models, here we discuss the importance of high resolution models of large scale earthquake to study two open subjects of ongoing debate: (1) rupture at bimaterial interface in 3D and the mechanism for exciting the prefered-direction unilateral rupture, and (2) the difference of faulting and near source ground motion of surface and buried earthquakes. 年月日: 2006年 8月2、3日 発表者: 福山英一 博士      (独立行政法人防災科学技術研究所)  題目: 応力場と動的破壊過程

年月日: 2004年 3月22日 発表者: 竹中博士 助教授      (九州大学大学院理学研究院)  題目: 弾性波動場の計算法<中級編>  概説: 昨年度<初級編>では,水平成層構造における弾性波動を計算する方法の一つである     Propagator Matrix法を扱いました。Propagator Matrix法は「周波数領域」における      平面波の表現をに基づいた半解析的な手法で,その定式化を通して波動理論と計算法     の両方の基礎をエンジョイされたと思います。今回<中級編>では,PropagatorMatrix     法で扱った水平成層構造(正確には,今回は1次元任意不均質構造)における平面波     入射問題を純粋な数値解法である「時間領域」の差分法(FDTD法)で解くことを考え     ます。1次元構造の平面波入射問題を従来の3次元の差分法で解くとたいへん効率が     悪いので(美しくないので),専用の支配方程式を導くことから始めます。その作業     を通して,時間領域と周波数領域の波動の表現の違いを認識し,周波数領域の表現だ     けでは見えてこなかった様々なことに気づきます。次にこの支配方程式をスタガード     格子差分を用いて離散化します。こうして得られたFDTD法の式は,本質的に空間1次     元なので単純そうに見えますが,差分解法に伴う種々の問題や現象を存分に体感でき     る,絶好の題材です。最後に方法を実際の地震学的な問題に適用した例を紹介します。 年月日: 2004年 3月 4日 発表者: Prof. Peter Moczo      (Geophysical Institute, Slovak Academy of Sciences, Bratislava, Slovak Republic)  題目: Hybrid finite-difference and finite-element modeling of seismic motion 年月日: 2004年 3月 4日 発表者: Dr. Rengin Gok (PD researcher, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Livermore)  題目: Source properties of the 1999 North Anatolian fault zone, Turkey, earthquakes 年月日: 2004年 2月18日 発表者: Dr. Ali Oncel      (独立行政法人産業技術総合研究所 活断層研究センター)  題目: Seismic source characterization defined by minima of local recurrence tim before the 2003 MJ8.0 Tokachi-Oki Earthquake  概説: We specify the most likely locations of asperities in the Tokachi-Oki rupture plane and compare their places, sizes and numbers to suggested asperities defined by strong-motion modelling. We used the technique of mapping local recurrence time (TL) based on the declustered microseismicity that is homogeneous for MJ8.0 during 1997-2003. We mapped TL in the rupture area bounded by 41.5°-42.8° latitude and 143°-144.9° longitude. TL is the probabilistic estimate of recurrence time, calculated from the a- and b-values.

年月日: 2003年 3月13日 発表者: Dr. Martin Mai      (Institute of Geophysics, ETH Hoenggerberg, Zurich)  題目: Earthquake Source Modeling: From a Hydraulically Controlled Fault Model to Near-Field Ground Motion Simulation  概説: Most damage from large earthquakes occurs in close proximity to a fault, but our knowledge of the underlying physical processes of earthquake rupture is still limited. Studying earthquake source dynamics is therefore a critical task in order to improve rupture simulations for near-field ground motion prediction. Finite-fault rupture models have shown the spatio-temporal complexity of earthquake rupture, but what controls this source complexity? How can we efficiently generate physically self-consistent earthquake scenarios that capture the highly variable spatio-temporal slip evolution, as seen in dynamicrupture models? Moreover, near-source directivity effects are determined by the hypocenter position with respect to regions of high stress release on the fault. Which processes or geologic structures determine the location of these high-slip zones? What relates the point of rupture nucleation to the slip/stress distribution on the fault? In this presentation, we will show initial results on a hydraulically controlled fault model (Hillers & Miller, 2002) that may be used to generate earthquake source models within a long-term evolutionary tectonic system. Such source models serve as a starting point to compose rupture scenarios using the pseudo-dynamic source characterization (Guatteri, Mai, Beroza, 2002). The pseudo-dynamic source model provides physically self-consistent rupture realizations that have been shown to result in realistic near-source ground motion simulations. Within the framework of this earthquake source modeling, we will also analyze the rupture initiation, and investigate how the hypocenter position is related to the final slip distribution.

年月日: 2003年 3月13日 発表者: Dr. Wojciech Debski      (Visiting Researcher in Tono Geoscience Center)  題目: The Monte Carlo technique as a tool for solving seismological inverse problems  概説: Almost all geophysical inference about the Earth's structure and physical processes going on inside the Earth, like, for example, core-mantle interaction, thermal convection, earthquake raptures to name a few are carried out on the base of the surface made measurements. This type of inference where the required information are not directly measured but rather extracted from other data called inverse problemscan be carried out in various ways. The oldest, simplest and most popular approach is a search for a model which the best fits (in a given sense) to observed data. This casts the inverse problem to an optimization task easily managed numerically. Classical least squares approach is an example of this approach. However, this technique has a serious disadvantage, namely it can hardly provide (especially in nonlinear cases) a reliable estimation of an accuracy of thesolution found. This limitation is overcome by the Bayesian approach to inverse problems. The Bayesian method relies not on the search a single optimum model but rather constructs the posteriori probability density over the whole model space (space of all possible solutions) which expresses our knowledge that a given model is the true one. Simplifying matter one can say that the global maximum of the a posteriori probability corresponds to the optimum model found by optimization approach and additional information like width of the distribution, or generally its shape provides information on accuracy of the solution, correlation among parameters, existence of secondary solutions, etc. However, as the a posteriori distribution is usually a multi-parameter function its exploration requires very efficient numerical methods. Monte Carlo techniques are the most suitable methods that can be used nowadays for this purpose. In the first part of this talk I shortly present and compare both optimization and Bayesian approaches to inverse problems followed by a short presentation of the Monte Carlo Sampling techniques (Markov Chain Monte Carlo). In the second part I would like to illustrate previous theoretical considerations by three seismological examples (if time permits) namely seismic velocity tomography, estimation of the earthquake source time function, and finally advanced acoustic location for ocean geodesy.

Seismic wave spectrum are often represented by convolution of source, path and site amplification factors. Using the representation some authors have been estimating relative source powers, site amplification factors or attenuation (Q values) and discussing quantitative difference of them without consideration of uncertainty (fluctuation) of the representation. Is the uncertainty is really so small? The topic of the talk is how much uncertainty we should expect in this representation, and discussion of the reason of the uncertainty.

年月日: 2000年10月27日 発表者: Mr. P. Martin Mai (Dc. Student)      (Department of Geophysics, Stanford University)  題目: Near-Source Strong Motion Prediction Using a Random-Field Earthquake SourceModel  概説: Prediction of strong ground motion in future earthquakes is the central challenge of engineering seismology. Attenuation relations have long been used to predict the behavior of simple characterizations of ground motion intensity (such as peak ground acceleration or spectral ordinates for given frequency and damping) as a function of earthquake size and distance. Several factors, such as permanent displacements and directivity effects, cause strong ground motion to be qualitatively different in the extreme near field than at somewhat larger distances. These factors act to make near-field ground motions for a particular intensity (e.g. PGA) substantially different from ground motions of the same intensity, observed at a greater distances from the fault. Although recent large earthquakes have added important new observations, there remains a scarcity of strong motion data in the extreme near field of large earthquakes. Simulations of strong ground motion for realistic earthquake scenarios will therefore play a central role in predicting the level and variability of strong motion in the near field of large earthquakes. We perform simulations that provide realistic strong motion synthetics. We characterize the earthquake source using a random-field model for the slip distribution on the rupture plane whose dimensions are constrained by source-scaling relations. The parameters for the random field description as well as for the source-scaling are derived from published finite source models. Our simulations for single-magnitude earthquake scenarios demonstrate the large variability of ground motions due to near-field effects that are not accounted for in standard attenuation relations. We extend our study to the multi-magnitude case in which we compute ground motions for a range of magnitudes and source sizes at various distances to the fault. We compare common measures of ground motion intensity (spectral acceleration, spectral displacement, peak ground acceleration) for the simulated strong motions against existing attenuation laws, demonstrating the usefulness of our method to capture the variability of strong ground motion in the near-field of large earthquakes.

年月日: 2000年3月7日 発表者: 干場充之 博士 Dr. Mitsuyuki Hoshiba      (気象研究所) (Meteorological Research Institute)  題目: 深さ依存性を持つ構造での散乱減衰と内部減衰の分離推定      Scattering Attenuation and Intrinsic Absorption Using Uniform and Depth      Dependent Model  概説: Two seismic wave attenuation factors, scattering attenuation Qs-1 and      intrinsic absorption Qi-1 are measured using the Multiple Lapse Time      Window (MLTW) analysis method for three different frequency bands, 1-2,      2-4, and 4-8Hz. Data from 54 temporally deployed seismic stations      located in northern Chile are used. This method compares time integrated      seismic wave energies with synthetic coda wave envelopes for a multiple      isotropic scattering model. In the present analysis, the wave energy is      assumed to decay with distance in proportion to1/GSFoexp[-(Qs-1+Qi-1)ow      r/v], where r,w and v are the propagation distance, angular frequency      and S wave velocity, respectively, and GSF is the geometrical spreading      factor. When spatial uniformity of Qs-1, Qi-1 and v is assumed, i.e.      GSF=4pr2, the estimates of the reciprocal of the extinction length, Le-1      [=(Qs-1+Qi-1)ラw/v], are 0.017, 0.012 and 0.010km-1, and those of the      seismic albedo, B0 [=Qs-1/(Qs-1+Qi-1)], are 0.48, 0.40 and 0.34 for 1-2,      2-4 and 4-8Hz, respectively, which indicates that scattering attenuation      is comparable to or smaller than intrinsic absorption. When we assume a      depth dependent velocity structure, we also find that scattering      attenuation is comparable to or smaller than intrinsic absorption.      However, since the quantitative estimates of scattering attenuation      depend on the assumed velocity structure (strength of velocity      discontinuity and/or Moho depth), it is important to consider      differences in velocity structure models when comparing attenuation      estimates.

年月日: 1999年11月5日 発表者: Dr. Kim B. Olsen       (Institute for Crustal Studies, U.C. Santa Barbara)  題目: 1. Modeling dynamic rupture in a heterogeneous stress field      2. Ground motion amplification in Los Angeles from 3D modeling of wave propagation  概説:  1. Modeling dynamic rupture in a heterogeneous stress field by K.B. Olsen, E. Fukuyama, and R. Madariaga Abstract: We study the propagation of seismic ruptures along a fault surface subject to a heterogeneous stress distribution. When prestress is uniform, rupture propagation is simple but presents some non-trivial differences with the circular shear crack models of Kostrov. The best known difference is that rupture can start only from a finite initial patch. The other difference is that rupture is asymmetric with the rupture front elongated in the inplane direction. If the initial stress is sufficiently high, the rupture front makes a transition to super-shear speeds. For simple rectangular faults or asperities rupture propagation is clearly controlled by the width of the fault or asperity. When stress or strength are heterogeneous rupture propagation changes completely and is controlled by local length scales in the initial stress distribution as well as rupture resistance. Thus short rise times (Heaton pulses), rupture arrest, stopping phases, variations in rupture velocity, etc reflect the length scales of the stress and strength distributions. In particular, we have analysed the effects of variations of the initial stress on the rupture velocity. The rupture velocity tends to increase in areas where the ratio of initial stress to yield stress is high (low rupture resistance) and vice versa. This is also the case for areas with neighboring asperities of low rupture resistance. Through a number of numerical experiments we have identified a non- dimensional parameter that controls rupture. This parameter measures the ratio of local available strain energy to fracture energy derived from the friction law. A bifurcation occurs when this parameter is greater than a certain critical value that depends mildly on the geometry of the stress distribution on the fault. We have verified that the non-dimensional parameter, computed using frictional parameters determined by different studies for several recent earthquakes (e.g., the 1992 Landers event) are near the critical value. Our results suggest that earthquakes are critical phenomena controlled by a single local non-dimensional number. 2. Ground motion amplification in Los Angeles from 3D modeling of wave propa gation by K.B. Olsen Abstract: We have used 0-0.5 Hz finite-difference, finite-fault simulations to estimate the three-dimensional (3D) response of the Los Angeles basin to nine different earthquake scenarios. Amplification is quantified as the peak velocity obtained from the 3D simulation divided by that predicted using a regional one-dimensional (1D) crustal model. Average amplification factors are up to a factor of 4, with the values from individual scenarios typically differing by as much as a factor of 2.5. The average amplification correlates with basin depth, with values near unity at sites above sediments with thickness less than 2 km, and up to factors near 6 above the deepest (~ 9 km) and steepest-dipping parts of the basin. There is also some indication that amplification factors are greater for events located farther from the basin edge. If the 3D amplification factors are divided by the 1D vertical SH-wave amplification below each site, they are lowered by up to a factor of 1.7. The duration of shaking in the 3D model is found to be longer, by up to more than 60 seconds, relative to the 1D basin response. The simulation of the 1994 Northridge earthquake reproduce recorded 0-0.5 Hz particle velocities relatively well, in particular at near- source stations. The synthetic and observed peak velocities agree within a factor of two and the log standard deviation of the residuals is 0.37. This is a reduction of 45% compared to the overall regression value for pseudoacceleration response spectra obtained by Boore et al. (1997) at 0.5 Hz. This result suggests that long-period ground motion estimation can be improved considerably by including the 3D basin structure.

年月日: 1999年4月15日 発表者: Dr. PETUKHIN, Anatoly, G.      (Kamchatka Experimental and Methodological Seismological Department GSRAS,       Now: JSPS Fellow, DPRI, Kyoto Univ.)  題目: STUDY OF GROUND STRONG-MOTIONS ON KAMCHATKA, RUSSIA  概説: Petukhin A.G. (1) and A.A.Gusev(2)      (1) Email: agp@egmdpri01.dpri.kyoto-u.ac.jp, (2) Institute of Volcanic      Geology and Geochemistry FEB RAS      First strong motion records on Kamchatka were obtained in 1960-70,      first at station Petropavlovsk, and then at other stations of      Kamchatka regional network. Observations that are more systematic      started around 1980, when the network of 25 strong-motion stations was      installed. At present, the archive of analog strong-motion records of      KEMSD includes more than 1000 records of earthquakes with intensity up      to 8 MSK. The standard processing procedure for these records includes      their digitizing, estimation of instrument parameters from calibration      data, correction of instrument errors and calculation of record      parameters. The development of the complete Kamchatkan strong-motions      database is in progress. Analysis of the digitized data enabled us to      determine the specific Kamchatka average relationship between peak      acceleration Amax, moment magnitude Mw and distance R; and also a      preliminary version of average relationship of amplitude Fourier      spectrum FSA vs Mw, R and site conditions. The mean level of these      relationships, at the same values of Mw and R, is comparable with that      for Japan and substantially greater than that for Western USA. There      are prominent station anomalies (for Amax and FSA) for some stations.      These anomalies are probably related with the site conditions. The      most striking example is the station Kruglyi: peak acceleration of      0.99g has been recorded here in 1993, at the distance 70 km from      Mw=7.5 event. This high frequency amplification is related with the      pocket of hydrothermally altered rock that outcrops very near to the      instrument pedestal.

First, I will show briefly the derivation of      surface wave fields in irregular media. Surprisingly, we will see some      distorted modes, dispersion surface, ... etc. in laterally      heterogeneous media, instead of the concepts of normal modes and      dispersion curves we are familiar in the case of laterally homogeneous      media. Also, I will show some interesting features of the wavefields      in laterally heterogeneous media.

年月日: 1999年3月1日 発表者: Prof. John N. Louie     (Seism. Lab., University of Nevada, USA, Now visiting: School of Earth)  題目: Seismic Imaging of Faults in California and Nevada  概説: A key issue in estimating the earthquake hazard to the Los Angeles      area is the hidden subsurface geometry of blind thrust faults.      Competing thin- and thick-skinned compressional tectonic models      propose very different thrust widths and thus maximum magnitudes.      Recent developments in velocity inversion and reflection imaging make      it possible to observe complex geometric relations among active      crustal faults. I use forward- and back-scattered fault-plane      reflections from earthquakes, recorded on seismic network stations, to      image thrusts. This technique imaged a mid-crustal bright spot at the      same location as a large active-source experiment. Images of the 1994      Northridge source zone establish the underlying thrust as a      thick-skinned fault system cutting the Moho.      In the Basin and Range extensional province, the earthquake risk may      be low, but the mechanisms of Neogene tectonics are controversial.      Active-source survey records there show reflections from normal- and      oblique-slip faults. Simulated-annealing velocity optimization allows      a prestack Kirchhoff migration to reconstruct these fault-plane      reflections into true-dip sections. A unique image from Death Valley      shows the listric geometry of a normal fault. The Dixie Valley fault      plane, which ruptured in 1954, dips at only 28 degrees in 1998 survey      results. Basin and Range extension may well follow more thin-skinned      models.

年月日: 1999年2月10日 発表者: Dr. Andreas Rietbrock     (University of Potsdam, Germany, now JSPS Fellow, in DPRI)  題目: P-wave attenuation structure in the fault area of the 1995 Kobe      earthquake  概説: Using aftershock records from the 1995 Kobe (Hyogo-ken Nanbu)      earthquake the three dimensional P wave attenuation structure in the      Kobe epicentral area is determined. Waveform data from both permanent      seismic networks and portable stations, set up following the Kobe      mainshock, were used. Using an w2-type source model the observed      P-wave amplitude spectra were inverted for the spectral plateau value,      the source corner frequency and a frequency independent t*-operator.      The determined t*-operators were subsequently used for the computation      of the 3D absorption structure using a 3D velocity model. For the      estimation of reliable spectral parameters only high quality amplitude      spectra were used, resulting in a final data set of about 4100      t*-operators. In the upper part of the crust two regions of high      absorption were found. One is below the northern part of Awaji island      and reaches down to a depth of 5 km. The other one, Northeast of Kobe      city, is along the Arima-Takatsuki tectonic line and extends along the      Rokko, Kashiodani, and Yamada Fault. To the north it reaches up to the      Hokusetsu-Sanchi area. In both regions a high density of fault      lineaations is mapped and also high Poisson ratios were determined.      This suggests that partially saturated cracks are causing the observed      high attenuation.

年月日: 1998年5月7日 発表者: Dr. Andreas Rietbrock      (Free University of Berlin, Germany, now JSPS Fellow, DPRI)  題目: Velocity and Attenuation Tomography in the Central Andes (North Chile)  概説: Since the spatial distribution of seismic velocities is often      insufficient for a detailed geological interpretation, it is necessary      to extract as much information as possible from the recorded      waveforms. Additionally to the velocity distribution we present a new      technique for the determination of the 3D absorption structure.      After the active seismic part of the ANCORP project a temporary      seismological network was installed between Nov. 1996 and Mar. 1997 in      the area between 20-23S and 67-70W. For the velocity and absorption      tomography a data set of 620 events analyzed, which includes more than      11500 P-wave and 6500 S-wave travel times. Two different approaches      calculating the t*-operators were considered. The determination of the      3D absorption structure was performed in the 3D velocity structure to      incorporate accurately path effects.      The main features of the 3D velocity distributions are very high      P-wave velocities (> 8.5km/s) in the subducted slab and high Vp/Vs      ratios directly above. In addition to results from the PISCO      experiment the absorption tomography shows low attenuation in the      forearc. A high absorption body can be seen beneath the recent      magmatic arc extending from the top of the subducted slab up to upper      crustal levels. The pattern of Vp/Vs ratios and Q can be interpreted      to reflect dehydration processes in the lower plate and hydration and      melting processes in the upper plate.
